    Virginia Law to allow schools to pay players for NIL

    Title 9 ruling on this is going to also be very interesting. Crazy that this is Virginia of all places but the first domino had to fall somewhere

    Focus on one thing for me, college football is not the NFL. It has no semblance to the NFL except that it plays essentially the same game. This isn’t hard man. The NFL only works because it has 32 equal teams and a draft. That’s it. It has parity. College football does not, never has, and no...

    My man you were the one who kept referencing the math and now you don’t have or know the numbers? So what math am I supposed to be looking at? As also stated cfb doesn’t work the same way as nfl, way more teams, zero parity, zero draft etc. That’s why I asked for the math, because cfb and the...

    Well let’s start with the nfl having 32 equal teams. 70 is more then double with teams that are in no way shape or form equal so that’s why it doesn’t work. Again you keep bringing up the math so show me the math.

    Yeah man there’s a bunch of teams in the conference, I don’t know the starters on every team, that’s not unusual in any way epically for a team I never think about like Iowa. I mean i knew Garza and Murray to an extent but that was about it besides the coaches kid. I don’t even know the coaches...

    Might want to loosen the tin foil for the first paragraph my man. They can’t keep Apple or Amazon out, they don’t own the product. Pac12 could have gone that route but the money wasn’t they and they didn’t want to go full streaming yet. Feel free to show the math if you’re so confident in it...

    Yeah I’ve never heard of Perkins, I don’t usually waste time following Iowa basketball just like I don’t know anyone who plays for Nebraska or Penn state, or even Maryland unless it’s a star or someone that has been there forever and is a major thorn in our side like Bouie from Northwestern...

    Don’t see the math on how it would make more for the members of the big ten or SEC. Penn state has been in the big ten for over 30 years so that’s pretty core at this point. Also no school is voting to kick a member out, that would have to be a unanimous agreement which would never happen in...

    Very fair point and they would be foolish not to at least consider it. My big push back was on the 70 team league floating around and being discussed the other possibilities in your previous post I think are more likely even though I don’t necessarily think any of those are probable. Your point...

    What schools are willingly leaving the big ten and SEC? You think Penn State wouldn’t be pissed? Also for those remaining schools if you balance it out based on TV ratings do you think your Purdues and Miss St’s of the world are going to be happy taking a 50mil pay cut because they don’t draw...

    Cool. Who’s reporting that? What is their proof? Is the actual fund disclosing that information? NIL funds are extremely tight lipped on this part and very little is public. The agents and reps have every reason to inflate those numbers or flat out lie. I’ve been involved in NIL since the...

    A 70 team model isn’t a super league, it is the current system. If/when the ACC falls that still doesn’t change anything. I think your one of those people that believes that greed is above all in cfb (can’t blame you there) so in what world does the P2 take a massive pay cut to balance out the...

    Oh no they are getting paid, but the vast majority aren’t coming close to getting hundreds of thousands of dollars. Most of the guys are getting around 20-30K per year. Some stars are raking in the big bucks but the vast majority are not.

    When/if athletes become employees it’s going to be the bombshell that reshapes everything. I know practically nothing when it comes from the aftermath of that as it’s a whole new world, all I know is programs will shut down. How many and which ones I have no idea. I don’t think there will ever...

    Oh I meant ISU athletes, apologize for that one. Didn’t realize all the athletes were making hundreds of thousands. Know that isn’t the case at Michigan or MSU.
